This paper delves into the transformative potential of innovative learning spaces within social work education, focusing on student reflections from the experiential theatre society, Arangu. The study examines the impact on student self-perception, envisions reimagined learning spaces within social work institutions, and underscores the benefits of student co-designing for holistic growth. Through in-depth interviews with seven student social workers, the research explores perceptions of innovative learning spaces and their alignment with professional approaches. Findings reveal a profound evolution in self-perception, highlighting the significance of spaces like Arangu in nurturing hidden talents and fostering a sense of purpose. Students advocate for flexible, inclusive, and dynamic learning environments, challenging traditional structures and emphasizing the need for a personalized, interdisciplinary education. The paper concludes with implications for social work education and practice, advocating for intentional space design to meet the diverse needs of students and foster a socially responsible cohort.
